As a local I’m surprised I haven’t been here more often. Excellent cocktails and food. Friendly staff. Perfect French quarter atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Great food here! My wife had the burger (super tasty), and I had the potato chip crusted drum (basically the best "fish and chips style" fish I've had in a long time). We visited on a Saturday night, and it was quiet and not busy. This place is sort of tucked away in an area sufficiently far enough from the "party area" to be low-key and out of the way. Service was perfect, as was the general ambiance. We'll be back when we return to N.O.
What a mess. Came in with a party of 13 for brunch. Took 30 minutes to get a cold brew and 1.5 hours to get food. Once we finally got the food, the order was a total mess with none of our requests taken into consideration. Bacon well done came out undercooked, greasy and fatty. Eggs no cheese came out with cheese. They then rushed to get eggs out with no cheese which some how came out both over cooked and raw. The hash browns were also horribly greasy. Only good thing was the maple butter and the toast unfortunately. To top it all off, our server also seemed totally out of it and hungover basically. Dine at your own risk 🤷♂️
We had a really fun lunch at Sylvain. There’s a very nice courtyard, unfortunately in August it’s a little too warm for us to dine outside. The menu is varied and the food is very good. The service is also good and the staff are friendly. Sylvain has a full bar and offers good cocktails, wine and champagne. A nice place to dine and have a drink.
Gem of a restaurant in the French Quarter. Best salad, spectacular corn bread, very delicious and unusual blackened he of the woods mushrooms, mouth watering short ribs and grits. Lovingly presented fresh and hot with attentive wait staff. Reasonable price. Excellent overall!
Another great find as we walked the streets of the French Quarter. With no reservation they accommodated is promptly and seated outside in the courtyard. The service was lovely and the food was extremely good. The Market Salad was the best and the ribs, and parpadella was great as well.
I like the bartender. We kinda ambushed the place and vibes were iffy at first, but it worked out well. All 7 of us enjoyed our food and drinks. The drink was fresh and balanced. The carrots were fun and flavorful. I taste tested the grits and fries which were pretty perfect. I highly recommend 🤍
Excellent brunch spot with friendly staff. My friends and I came here for a leisurely meal and had an amazing time.
We ordered the pomegranate mimosa and champagne cocktail to start. They were light, just the right amount of sweetness, and the perfect drinks to go with brunch.
For our meals, we ordered the breakfast sandwich, a side of grits, and the Wagyu beef burger with a fried egg. My friend who ordered the breakfast sandwich said it was the best one she has ever had. The burger was also delicious, which came with the crispiest side of fries. The grits were very tasty, but just note that it is a bit spicy as they mix in their housemaid hot sauce.
What truly stood out from our experience was the excellent service that was provided by Randy who had a great sense of humor. He also treated us to some fun desserts. A very special thank you to Randy for making our dining experience during our trip to New Orleans such a memorable one.
All in all, this is a great spot to stop by for brunch for locals and tourists alike, and I 100% recommend it!
